“Headache” is a condition familiar to most people. Moreover, it would seem that such a simple, although painful, condition does not depend on age or general health, and under certain conditions, a headache can make life unbearable. Treatment with pills, to which many are accustomed, as well as folk remedies, are not always effective. If the possibilities of traditional and folk medicine have been tried, but relief has not followed, you can turn to prayer for headaches.
Prayer to the Mother of God
It is the Most Holy Theotokos that people turn to in the most difficult life situations. And don’t think that a headache is a trifle. It may be a harbinger of serious illnesses or accompany them. When turning to the Mother of God, you need to calm down and say the words of the prayer quietly, without strain. The Orthodox prayer for headaches addressed to her is considered one of the most powerful.
Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady Theotokos Virgin, these prayers, now brought to You with tears from us, Your unworthy servants, to Your celibate image of singing sending out with tenderness, as if You yourself are here and hearken to our prayer. For every request you fulfill, you alleviate sorrow, you give health to the weak, you heal the weakened and sick, you drive away demons from demons, you deliver the offended from their grievances, cleanse yourselves and your little children; Moreover, O Lady, Lady Theotokos, you free us from bonds and prisons and heal all manifold passions: for all things are possible through Your intercession to Your Son, Christ our God. Oh, All-Singing Mother, Most Holy Theotokos! Do not cease to pray for us, Your unworthy servants, who glorify You and honor You, and who worship Your Most Pure Image with tenderness, and who have irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in You, Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer for healing from a headache addressed to the Baptist John
Saint John was beheaded by order of the well-known Herod, who imagined himself to be a great king. His image is presented to people in a canonical form - the head of the sufferer, depicted on the faces, suggests an appeal to John the Baptist with a request to relieve the headache. As a repentant preacher, people often turn to him in attempts to find their own repentance. On the Russian lands they asked the saint not only for the health of the human race, but also sought his favor for crops and fertility, and hives in the apiary were consecrated in his name.
The text of the prayer itself in a modern adaptation looks like this:
“Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance! Do not despise me who repents, but, copulating with the heavenly warriors, pray to the Lady for me, unworthy, sad, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, burdened by the stormy thoughts of my mind. Because I am a den of evil deeds, with no end to sinful customs, my mind is nailed down by earthly things. What I will do, I don’t know. And to whom shall I resort so that my soul will be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the same name of grace, for you are before the Lord, according to the Mother of God, greater than all who were born; You have been vouchsafed to touch the top of the King Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God, pray to Him for my sinful soul, so that from now on, at the first tenth hour, I will bear a good burden and accept recompense with the last. To her, the Baptist of Christ, the honest Forerunner, the ultimate prophet, the first martyr in grace, the teacher of fasters and hermits, the teacher of purity and the neighbor of Christ, I pray to you, I resort to you, do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, having fallen into many sins, Renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, since you are the ruler of both, wash away the original sin with baptism, and cleanse each one from bad deeds with repentance. Cleanse me, defiled by sins, and compel me to enter, even if nothing bad enters, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen".

In front of the icon “The Tsaritsa” (“Pantanassa”)
In especially severe cases and during the course of serious illnesses, it is recommended to pray to the Most Holy Theotokos in front of the “All-Tsarina” icon.
It is believed that in such situations the words of prayer sound more weighty and are more likely to reach the ears of the Mother of God.

Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer
From childhood, Panteleimon was distinguished by his zeal in learning and knowledge of the basics of healing. He gained firm faith in God after turning to the Lord with a prayer for the resurrection of a child who died from the bite of an echidna, and the punishment of the poisonous reptile.

Prayer service to the Mother of God
The Mother of God stands for the protection of the well-being and health of people, so people often call on her for help with various diseases. To get rid of headaches, women most often turn to her with the following words:
During prayer, you need to light a candle and look at its flame. For greater efficiency, it is also recommended to place the icon of the Virgin Mary “Healer” in front of you. While reading the words, you need to imagine how the fire burns away all the negativity and pain, giving peace in return. It is advisable to perform the ritual alone so that no one distracts you from reading the text.
Since prayer is an auxiliary tool, the treatment of migraine should be based on medications. But what to do if they don’t help, and the dosage cannot be exceeded? In such cases, prayer phrases should be read that enhance the effect of the medications.
It is important to remember that before turning to Our Lady for help, you must say the “Our Father” prayer three times. If a headache occurs outside the house, then the sacred words can be read without a candle. In this case, it is advisable to take a comfortable position, relax and fully concentrate on the text.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel
At birth, every person is given a Guardian Angel who protects us from bad thoughts and actions, gives wise advice, and helps us cope with illnesses and illnesses. If the painful condition is unbearable, a prayer for high blood pressure and headaches addressed to the Guardian Angel will bring relief.
Holy Angel of Christ, falling to you I pray, my holy guardian, given to me for the preservation of my soul and body, a sinner from holy baptism, but through my laziness and my evil deeds We hope that you have angered your most pure lordship and driven you away from us with all your evil deeds: lies, slander , envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, brotherly hatred, and resentment, love of money, adultery, rage, stinginess, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, excessive talking, evil thoughts and crafty ones, proud custom and lustful indignation, having self-desire for all carnal lust. Oh, my evil will, even the beasts do not do it without words! How can you look at me, or approach me like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, O angel of Christ, look upon me, entangled in evil in vile deeds? How can I ask for forgiveness for my bitter and evil and evil deeds, in which I fall all day and night and at every hour? But I pray to you, falling down, my guardian saint, have mercy on the flesh of your sinful and unworthy servant (name), be my helper and intercessor against the evil of my opponent, your saints through my prayers, and make me a partaker of the Kingdom of God with all the saints, always, and now and forever and ever. Amen.
